I do have to rive them credit for at least making an effort to at least try to get their house i order.
Now, WHY am I not surprised at all?
‘Cause this happens all the time. These people are incapable of serious and rational thinking. My uncle I recall saying when I was about 7, 8 years old saying “Put brain in gear before putting mouth in motion”........Bullseye!!
I'm surprised they admitted it, instead to trying to cover it up.
Crap like that makes me wish I left religion earlier in life.
What matters is you did. I will always point out it took me 9 years to declare myself non believer, and this was after quitting drinking and smoking.
